Opinion

JUSTIN WAYNE BEEBE, Petitioner, v. F. CHAVEZ, Respondent. No. 2:12-cv-0155 JFM (HC) United States District Court, E.D. California. April 12, 2012

          ORDER

          JOHN F. MOULDS, Magistrate Judge.

         Examination of this action and the court's records reveals that the petitioner has previously filed a petition for relief in the same matter.¹ (No. CIV 2:11-cv-2241-KJN.) Pursuant to Local Rule 190(d), the above-captioned action will be reassigned to the Magistrate Judge who considered the prior petition.

1 A court may take judicial notice of court records. See MGIC Indem. Co. v. Weisman, 803 F.2d 500, 505 (9th Cir. 1986); United States v. Wilson, 631 F.2d 118, 119 (9th Cir. 1980).

         The parties should be aware that reassigning this action under Local Rule 190(d) merely has the result that the action is assigned to the Magistrate Judge who considered the prior petition; no consolidation of the actions is effected.

         Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

         1. This action is reassigned to Magistrate Judge Kendall J. Newman for all further proceedings; henceforth, the caption on documents filed in this action shall be shown as No. CIV 2:12-cv-155-KJN; and

         2. The Clerk of the Court shall make appropriate adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.
